Community, the tv show

Also cannot wait for inevitable Western ep, esp since the Western idiom is so much about community formation.

greendalewood

fat neil takes anthropology with the group in the rerun that is currently on! he didn't just come out of nowhere

Per Variety: NBC renews OFFICE, COMMUNITY, PARKS & REC.

YES! Considering 30 was already picked up, that means at least one more year of fun (and potentially one year of the most awkward Office episodes ever).

Fuck yeah!

we we we so excited

I just put four notches in the table (labeled "FUN")

should do a community tertiary characters poll to celebrate

great news.

Fuck yeah. I wonder what class they'll get stuck in next.

xp You don't think Chang would win in a walk?

he's more of a secondary character, isn't he? tertiary would be more like Leonard and Magnitude

he's more of a secondary character, isn't he?

yeah thats why i want to do a tertiary character poll - like ppl that have been in multiple episodes but not ft'd roles

Dan Harmon has been talking to people on Twitter about Bioware RPGs for the last two hours and took a break to announce this.

Star Burns, the dean...is the dean secondary though? Because he'd trounce Lenny and 'tude.

In that case, I vote for the cute girl who was hanging around with Annie while Britta was mistaking that other girl for a lesbian.

there's also abed's roomie whatshisname

And Garrett. Fuckin' love that guy.

yeah garrett is great! looked it up on wikipedia and man this show is packed with amazing peripheral characters, it's not just about annie's boobs

i mentioned this on this thread before but it turns out fat neil has been in the background of episodes before his role in the DnD ep.

I remember him first being mentioned in the episode before; John Oliver calls on "Fat Neil," and he says, "Um, just 'Neil' is fine." Did he appear before that, though?

he's not even just in the background, is called by his name fat neil in the episode before the DnD one iirc.

or what he said.

worst tertiary character = john oliver.

i like oliver. is it a british thing to hate on him?

haha jon oliver annoys me but i consider him a 'secondary' character also i started that poll

For some reason, I love Oliver on Community, hate him on everything else. Ditto Chevy Chase.

I love Oliver on The Daily Show, less so on Community, and don't really think much of his stand up.

i like oliver. is it a british thing to hate on him?

i dunno, i just think he's really unfunny. anecdote about him: some acquiantance of mine saw him do stand-up, in brighton iirc, when he was a total unkown. he bombed and was getting wildly heckled, he started ranting, and not like righteous, witty vituperation, just straight saying, "shut up, you're just too stupid to understand my material". couple of months later he's on american tv. go figure.

in community i think the writing is pretty weak for him, lots of "in britain we call it a [comedy name for a commonplace thing]" or whatever. like, lol, the wacky brit prof.

omg best news everrrr, i was legit feeling sorrowful at the prospect of this show getting canceled.

i just enjoy oliver's delivery of things, even when his lines aren't partic. strong

The radio show he did with Andy Zalzman, "The Department" was hilarious and his daily show writers would do well to listen to it, much better than his Daily Show stuff.

He and Andy still do a weekly podcast, "The Bugle."

indeed, but the department was better

i just enjoy oliver's delivery of things, even when his lines aren't partic. strong

yeah this

annie's boobs mvp of cold open

may. be. we. do.

britta's cheekbones MVP of the rest of the show

"sourface"

Good ep. Like the incidental use of "Tall Kyle" by Britta - arbitrary throw-away detail.

i didn't get the ending (at the table). could someone explain?

Presumably what the actual study sessions are like, minus wacky shenanigans and sub-plots.

the devices they were using were progressively more modern, but not sure i got it other than that

I didn't see the whole thing because my DVR cut it off. Thought the joke was that Pearce was using a calculator when everyone else was texting or something. What devices were everyone using?

yeah you're right, i re-watched the end. jeff = texting on phone, annie = laptop, shirley = phone texting, pierce = old adding machine, troy droid 2 looking thing, abed = ipad 2 it looked like, britta = txting on phone

i think its mostly just an observational joke abt how much time ppl spend texting or w/e when theyre hanging out w/ friends

yeah maybe so. also looked like troy & abed may have both been gaming

old adding machine? I'm not THAT old but it looked like just a regular old calculator. Not like he whipped out an abacus or something!

ha, yeah, you're right. guess i was thinking of this http://www.kegcoat.com/howtoguides/AddingMachine.htm
